WeMatter
WeMatter is a video-based digital service for children and young people (CYP) who have been affected by domestic abuse.
WeMatter is a totally digital service providing specialist support to children and young people aged 8–17 years old, who have been affected by domestic abuse.
WeMatter delivers the CYP Domestic Abuse Recovery Toolkit, which offers a range of activities and discussions informed by Trauma Focused Cognitive Behaviour Therapy.
This group programme is designed to help children and young people understand their own experiences, develop healthy coping strategies, increase levels of safety and achieve positive future relationships
What we do
WeMatter is a voluntary service designed to support children and young people in a group work setting with others who may have historically shared a similar experience to them.
The group work programme will be facilitated by two specially trained CYP Programme Facilitators over the course of eight weeks.
We offer a varied timetable of courses available to children and young people, which they are able to access at home or during the school day.
Each virtual support session lasts approximately one hour and is fully accessible via Zoom. For the safety of the group participants, it is essential for each to have their camera on and access the course using a computer, laptop or smart device.
This programme is not suitable for children and young people who are experiencing ongoing domestic abuse.
If WeMatter is not suitable, we can look to refer you on to a more appropriate service. The WeMatter support line is open 9am-5pm.
